Finger Lakes Distilling - La Bourgade Neighbors

Touting an expansive view of Seneca lake and a building design inspired by the whisky distilleries of Scotland, Finger Lakes Distilling beckons you into its establishment—even from Route 414. An impressive, hand-crafted operation, Finger Lakes Distilling produces a large profile of products, including a well-known and nationwide McKenzie Whiskey line, as well as vodka, gin, brandy, and liqueurs. In a region known for its grapes, Finger Lakes Distilling, only one mile from La Bourgade on Seneca, is proof that upstate New York offers more than just good Riesling.

Local Favorites Amongst Finger Lakes Residents

“[Seneca Drums] is a representation of the life that people enjoy while here on the lake. The gin’s not traditional. It’s light. It’s citrus forward. It’s a representation of our region, and all of the fun you can have here on the lake.”
